Running the app on the device (Testing/Debugging)When you run the app on the desktop simulator, the Flex URLs towards the PHP services are using localhost.When you want to run the Flex on the actual device, you’ll have to use the server IP address where the PHP services are hosted.There are two scenarios:If you want to debug the Flex app on the device, you’ll have to run the PHP code either on your computer or on a server that has debugging enabled;If you want to run the Flex app on the device, you can have the PHP code deployed on a server or on your computer.

Enabling Debugging on the Device for Flex Mobile and PHP appsConnect the mobile device to the same WiFi network as the computer on which you run the PHP code and Flash Builder for PHP (you can use a shared network from your computer)Edit the .flexProperties file and change the serverRootURL from http://localhost/[…] to http://IP_ADDRESS/[…]Open the Flex Service wrapper file and over write the _serviceControl.endpoint variable. You get the value you have to set by watching the value set for _serviceControl.endpoint in the _Super_ServiceName.as file while launching the app on debug mode.Note: You have to increment the value of the debug_session_id for each launch.
